  • Baz Bamigboye: Danny Boyle to direct ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE this Spring; Involvement with Bond is highly unlikely http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5452613/Danny-Boyle-Richard-Curtis-making-Beatles-movie.html Danny Boyle will direct a 1…
  • Word from Baz is that Boyle's film will shoot this summer... https://twitter.com/BazBam/status/969281375994986496 We knew that Danny had a musical in the works at Working Title already. He was either doing that or Bond next. I imagine a lot …
  • Can we begin fan-casting a Danny Boyle Bond film yet? Aside from Craig, Harris, Fiennes and Whishaw. I want to see roles for Vincent Cassell, Frieda Pinto and Johnny Lee Miller (perhaps as a Whitehall/MI6 Staffer as a nod to is grandfather).
  • I think Naomie has been terrific as MP. She’s totally nailed the character and bought an interesting edge to proceedings. Her relationship with Bond feels well-realised and her chemistry with Craig has been on point. I also enjoyed the reinvention a…
  • Personally, the only reason I think Danny Boyle would be interested in bond 25 would be from a political direction. I'm sure the film wouldn't be an outwardly political piece, but politics and Bond go together hand-in-hand. I imagine Boyle as a s…
  • @bonsum No, Baz debunked the Nolan rumour back in December. I think it's clear that Boyle has an "idea". The producers evidently want to work with him, as Danny is something of a national treasure and would be considered a "big get" for EON. M…
  • I'm a little suspicious of this idea. It seems slightly dangerous to develop two scripts concurrently. I wonder what made EON entertain Boyle enough to allow him to bring on his own writer and silently work on getting their own version of the sto…
  • Interesting development…. When I first saw the headline today, I thought I was the typical crap some tabloid would come up with. Since Slumdog came out, Danny Boyle has been rumoured for every subsequent Bond film. The fact that THIS was evidentl…
  • Somewhat curiously, last night Kroll tweeted a picture from Chris Nolan’s The Prestige and a shot of DC from CR. Clearly both photos are supposed to be hints of his “big news” today. Now, if we were gambling men, we could say that this is a subtle i…
  • Are we getting a Bond announcement tomorrow? Justin Kroll from Variety tweeted that big news was coming from a major Hollywood film tomorrow. Kroll was the first person to reveal that Yann Demange was the frontrunner back in July. Jeff Sneider…
  • Christopher Nolan has confirmed that he will not be the director of Bond 25: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/james-bond-directing-christopher-nolan_uk_5a893b2be4b00bc49f450370 Personally, I think Steve McQueen would be terrific.... …
  • Jeff Snider has spoken more about Bond 25 at 58 mins It seems that the deal was supposed to have been made by now....but hasn't. Is this move in trouble?
  • Interesting.... I suspect that Jeff Sneider is merely paying reference to the fact that we are around 9 months away from the film entering production and we don't know who the director or studio is for Bond 25. It's probably the only big studio t…
  • In a recent interview with The Telegraph, Denis Villenueve has distanced himself from the possibility of directing a large-budgeted, arthouse film again. He refers to his Blade Runner film as a ‘monster’. Is this a sign that his Dune film could be o…
  • Bond 25 won't be delayed from the 2019 release date.  They had shot half of the Rhythm Section film; so I imagine Reed Morano will edit the footage she has and prep for the other half of filming to commence again in 4 months time. She'll have a s…
  • I don’t think the idea was to ever take the Jinx character as presented in DAD and make a spin-off based solely off that. I believe the plan was to simply launch a spy/action franchise with Halle Berry in the lead. It would obviously have been the s…
  • The Ajay Cowdhury books really made me interested in reading the Jinx script. Is there any way to get it?
  • There's a very good essay waiting to be written by someone here.....
  • I truly doubt it would have as drastic an effect as to delay Bond 25, but it seems clear to me that EON’s attention is elsewhere for the time being. There are other producers working on The Rhythm Section, but Barbara seems like the sort of person w…
  • For me..... RN succeeded where SP failed. SP was an attempt by Mendes to make a "fun" Bond film but still keep the earnest quality that made SF so compelling. If you want to make a frothy action film, you do it the way RN did. No one really ca…
  • Hilarious. This is typical tabloaid journalism. Clearly Lee Smith (who is doing the rounds currently to secure Dunkirk's Oscar chances) was asked about whehter Styles could play Bond and he entertained the journalist for a few moments and they're…
  • I'm getting bored of waiting around with no news.... I have a hunch that if EON are unable to convince Denis Vilenueve to direct they'll go for a diversity pick. Barbara Broccoli has been pushing for female voices in films for a while. She pro…

  • The recent news story that Barbara Broccoli would cast a black actor to play James Bond got me thinking. I know the topic has been spoken about to death and I'm not interested in going over it again, mainly as you'll likely never be able to change t…
  • Daniel Craig apparently hosted a screening Three Billboards last night in NY. There are are photos of him online looking rather pally with Martin McDonagh, that film's writer and director. Craig has a penchant for getting his friend's jobs on these …
  • @ClarkDevlin I believe the "Heinrich Stockmann" name was just a placeholder for Ernst Stavro Blofeld. I don't think think they had any plans not to include Blofeld. More interestingly, the Blofeld character was actually an African dictator for a …
